SFD008: Mr.C - The Future (Derek Marin Remix) [Superfreq]

Artist: Mr.C Title: The Future Label: SuperFreq Released: October 21st, 2013 Cat No: SFD008 Mr.C is back on his own Superfreq label with 'The Future', one of the key cuts from his recent album 'Smell the Coffee'. The track is inspired by "seeing so many people on the party scene who don't get involved and do nothing about what is going on around the world" or "the pathetic apathetic" as Mr.C calls them. It's a typically deep and spiritual backstory and makes for a fantastic single that is lead up by some killer remixes from Omid 16B, Derek Marin and Stark. 'The Future' in instrumental form as provided here by Mr.C is a slow-burning groover with gorgeous cowbells, a growling bottom end and some nicely slapped hats that help drive things along. It's darkened house, alive with impish synths and is re-worked beautifully by the selected remixers who totally re-imagine it in their own unique way. First up is Omid 16B, boss of the Alola label and someone who has released exciting and unpredictable music on labels like Tsuba, Bedrock and SexOnWax. His remix is more spangled and physical than the original, featuring plenty of ghoulish voices and hard hitting drums that work themselves and listeners into a deep, controlled and Detroit inspired frenzy. There's also a dub version for the even more abstract dancefloors out there that is just as essential. Next up, esteemed New York man and Get Physical associate Derek Marin (who has also performed and collaborated with some of the biggest artists in the electronic music world like Andrew Fletcher of Depeche Mode, Mr. C and Alexi Delano) has delivered a hugely ambitious remix that sways down lo in house music's mysterious and cosmic-tinged nether regions. As well as some carefully crafted percussive drama, there are some exquisite and wide screen synth patterns on show that help to elevate this way above the norm. From dark to deep and back again, it's a veritable sonic trip. Finally, the ever on point Stark who turns in a broody and industrial tinged remix that gurgles with thick synth lines and spits out raw snare drums with plenty of attitude. This is another stunning off-kilter EP from Superfreq that, true to the label's name, will appeal to the freakiest of house fans out there. [email protected] Tracklist 1. Omid 16B Club remix 2.
